Source Reduction - In 2012, the facility took special measures to systematically reduce emissions and solid hazardous waste. The project was completed in 2 phases. 1. Optimization of process parameters and stricter operational control. 2. Hardware upgrade. Site also used third parties to calibrate all air flow for stacks to get accurate data and better calculate the emissions. As a result, site achieved significant reduction in emissions. Economic downturn as well as change in product portfolio has also helped the cause significantly. There is a conscious effort to move to water based products portfolio from a VOC based (solvent borne) product portfolio. |
